Tax amount of a VAT category is wrong (BR-CO-17)
- Standard: EN 16931
- Severity: error
- Affected fields: BT-117, BT-116, BT-119
Meaning
The VAT category tax amount (BT-117) must equal the taxable amount (BT-116) times the rate (BT-119) divided by 100, rounded to two decimals. The rule accepts differences up to 1.00 in the invoice currency, in UBL only below 1.00.
Original text of the rule
VAT category tax amount (BT-117) = VAT category taxable amount (BT-116) x (VAT category rate (BT-119) / 100), rounded to two decimals.
Possible causes
- The tax amount or the taxable amount was edited by hand.
- The rate or taxable amount in the breakdown does not match the tax amount.
How to fix it
- In your invoicing software, recalculate the tax amounts and create the invoice again.
- In the XML: set BT-117 = BT-116 × BT-119 / 100 (UBL cac:TaxSubtotal/cbc:TaxAmount, CII ram:ApplicableTradeTax/ram:CalculatedAmount).
